The combine isn't the be all, end all of NFL success, but it certainly has a correlation. Otherwise, NFL experts wouldn't consider it so important.
Absolutely. Obviously, I was being fairly hyperbolic with my statement that it was "crap".
I just think it is funny that people put so much stock into 40 times for positions where it is relatively unimportant.
For many positions, I consider cone drills and shuffles to be far more important than 40 times and Bench press reps.

I wouldn't say that a time that spectacular for that position is something that you just gloss over without giving the guy a good look.
For someone to run a 40 that quick at that size, they have to have very explosive hips. So while his straight line 40 speed isn't important, what it does tell you is he has explosive hips, an important trait for offensive lineman.
